Working my way through the first example. The prose are at best an initial draft w/ plenty of grammar errors, varying from simple incorrect verb forms (ones that would be tagged by most word processors, e.g. "... are add ..." appears repeatedly) to difficult to figure out statements. Needs a thorough proof-reading; given the quality of the writing, shouldn't be paying for this.The screen shots are too small and don't resize with zoom -- same on both Kindle and computer; limited image resize on computer w/ increased window width in the browser; embedded images overlay captions or text.The explanation of the subsequent markup fails to provide an overview (overall context), or it assumes prior knowledge of / familiarity with the RadGrid control. Some explanations do not add anything beyond what's obvious by the tag or attribute -- an all to common problem in technical writing. Not finding this any better than what's available elsewhere online for free. The code examples may be good, but I'm not finding this any better a learning aid than the demos and documentation from Telerik; difficult for me to understand the other readers' very high ratings.

As have been many, I have a time critical project and needed to get the Telerik RadGrid Control up and running.As many have stated, the official documenation needs significant improvement.This book provided the needed jumpstart.The book is well organized with 4 examples that build upon each other with additional nuances of the control.I highly recommend this book as a first jump start and as a resource on this control.Job well done.
